The effects of soil moisture, soil texture, and host orientation on the ability of Heterorhabditis bacteriophora (Rhabditida: Heterorhabditidae) to infect Galleria mellonella (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) [PDF]
Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN) demonstrate potential as a biological control for soil dwelling insects. However, edaphic factors, such as soil moisture and texture impact the efficacy of EPN on a host. The objectives were to examine the effects of soil

The study of receptivity of Colorado potato beetle Leptinotarsa decemlineata Say, 1824 to the entomopathogenic nematode Heterorhabditis bacteriophora Poinar, 1975 [PDF]
Possibility of receptivity of Colorado potato beetle (CPB) Leptinotarsa decemlineata Say, 1824 by entomopathogenic nematode Heterorhabditis bacteriophora Poinar, 1975 was studied. The larvae of infected CPB was used.

The influence of habitat quality on the foraging strategies of the entomopathogenic nematodes Steinernema carpocapsae and Heterorhabditis megidis [PDF]
Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN) are soil-transmitted parasites and their foraging strategies are believed to range from ‘ambush’ to ‘cruise’ foragers. However, research on their behaviour has not considered the natural habitat of these nematodes.

Draft Genome Sequence of Photorhabdus luminescens subsp. laumondii HP88, an Entomopathogenic Bacterium Isolated from Nematodes [PDF]
Photorhabdus luminescens subsp. laumondii HP88 is an entomopathogenic bacterium that forms a symbiotic association with Heterorhabditis nematodes. We report here a 5.27-Mbp draft genome sequence for P. luminescens subsp.

Comparative study of element contents in seven isolates of entomopathogenic nematodes
Little is known about element contents in the entomopathogenic nematodes despite their vital role in the growth and development of all organisms. Ten element contents of seven nematode isolates were determined. No significant differences were observed in
